Unit4：Pollution 污染
Marni: Hey, Gary, can you give me a hand with this recycling?
Gary，幫我搬一下回收垃圾好嗎?
Gary: Why?
為什么?
Marni: Because I need to take it out to the recycling bin because the recycling truck’s coming tomorrow.
因?yàn)槲乙阉玫交厥绽淠抢?，明天垃圾回收車就來了?/p>
Gary: Oh, because you think someone’s actually going to reuse it?
你覺得真的有人會再使用這些垃圾嗎?
Marni: Yes, I do. Because I know that it’s making a difference.
是的，我相信這會帶來積極的改變。
Gary: Why? What’s the point?
為什么?有什么意義?
Marni: The point is to reuse it so that we’re not putting it in the landfill.
重新利用它們而不用將這些垃圾填埋。
Gary: It’s not going to make a dent in anything. It’s just going to go into another place where all this other stuff is, and it’s garbage!
這根本改變不了什么。它們只會被運(yùn)到一個(gè)遍是其他垃圾的地方。
Marni: How can you say that? I believe in making a difference. I take public transportation everywhere. I recycle everything I can. I use minimal electricity. I limit my showers to only five minutes.
你怎么能這么說呢!因?yàn)槲蚁嘈胚@能帶來積極的影響。我去哪兒都坐公交車，盡最大可能回收東西。我的用電量很小，我每次洗澡都限制在5分鐘里。
Gary: And I’m guessing you take public transportation…
我猜你坐公交車……
Marni: Uh-huh, I do!
是的。
Gary: …because you don’t want to contribute to hazardous waste that will make its way into the landfill.
因?yàn)槟悴幌Ｍ约旱某鲂袝a(chǎn)生將被掩埋的有害物質(zhì)。
Marni: Well, I don’t want to contribute to greenhouse gases that are harming our atmosphere and causing climate change. But, yes, I think it is important that we all take strides to think about our impact on this planet.
我不希望自己的行為會加重溫室效益，它會傷害大氣，導(dǎo)致氣候變化。但我覺得我們應(yīng)該從自己做起，思考自身對地球的影響。

Unit4：語法點(diǎn)講解
It’s (It is) making a difference.
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)是由be動(dòng)詞的進(jìn)行時(shí)+動(dòng)詞+ing組成。
例：The neighbors are playing their music really loudly.
鄰居們正把音樂放得很大聲。
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)主要用來表達(dá)持續(xù)進(jìn)行的行為和正在進(jìn)行的事情。
“always,” “constantly,” “continuously”這樣的單詞經(jīng)常用再現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)句子里，表示行為的重復(fù)性。
“right now” or “at the moment”這樣的單詞，表示行為正在進(jìn)行。
